When I went into this book, I wasn’t sure what was going to happen since I read Guidroz’s other story about “Charlie”–I was braced for the worst and really…this was mellow compared to that one.

This is about a young woman starting her life over in a new town in order to escape her toxic childhood home and to be able to support her younger brother. She’s in the funeral business and gets a job at a small funeral home and unexpectedly might of found the love of her life. Soon things come to the surface and secrets are slowly revealed, worlds are flipped upside down.

I don’t want to say much more of the types of horror this has because of spoiling any twists but I wanted to point out that I actually enjoyed the smuttier parts of this. I for some reason wasn’t expecting there to be as much of a love story (yes I know the word is in the title) but I am still scarred from C.M’s last story so this was a little refreshing.

There are some gross moments but nothing is too detailed on the page which I think would make some of the triggering things a little more subtle and digestible. I think this might be a good start to C.M.’s work if you aren’t into super disgusting, in your face horror.

Overall, this was a quick entertaining read. If you like horrific topics, complicated love stories and happy endings (pun intended) then give this one a shot.
